Storymaking in Gateshead
On the 25th of July, in the middle of a nationwide heatwave. We ran a Storymaking workshop at the Open University offices in Gateshead.
Storified by Documentally· Thu, Jul 25 2013 00:44:18
What with this being the most northerly Storymaking walk yet, I decided to travel up the day before. When I got to Huntingdon train station I was given some inside information as to why my tickets to Newcastle never work in the automatic barriers.
The train networks need coders. We all do. #AudiomoThe train networks need coders. We all do. #Audiomo from documentally on BLIMS
As it was audio bloggers month (#AudioMo)I recorded some thoughts to the platform App.net with the app HashPan (#Pan)
While on the train I hung my Mifi from a little sucker on the window. This ensures I have the best 3G-to-wifi signal when in transit.
My train wifi is the best train wifi. #ou_msw pic.twitter.com/8sdL52aXKODocumentally
Sometimes the sockets on trains don’t work or haven’t been switched on. It’s good practise to have your own mobile power.
Someone forgot to turn on the sockets on the train. Using the Powermonkey Extreme instead. #ou_msw pic.twitter.com/dxHOZOzxUaDocumentally
Soon enough I arrived in sunny Newcastle. Which was good because i’d only packed shorts and sandals.

That said, while crossing the bridge into Gateshead I could see a storm approaching.

I shot a quick Bambuser video from my window. 3G was bad but luckily when i got on the room wifi the app uploaded the remaining data.

I started the day of the workshop from the @StorymakingWalk twitter account. My other account needed a little time to recoverfrom the night before.

Storymaking in Cardiff
For this, the sixth storymaking workshop, we found ourself visiting Sunny Wales.
Storified by Documentally· Tue, Jun 04 2013 03:29:57
For some reason i had thought 04:30 to be a sensible time to get up.
Oops. Got up an hour earlier than I needed to.Documentally
At least I wasn’t the only one experiencing the dawn chorus.
And now heading on grown-up train to Cardiff for #openuniversity storymaking workshop with @Documentally #ou_mswjanematthews
A trip across one country and into another and it was a short walk to the venue.
Arrived for #ou_msw (@ Cardiff Central Railway Station (CDF) – @nationalrailenq w/ 4 others) [pic]: 4sq.com/13fy5NZDocumentally

The room soon filled to capacity and as ever there were refreshments to hand for those that needed them.

As we walked we snapped. For some this was the first time for sharing images with twitter.
All good stories need a dragon. A cake one is a good place to start #ou_mswMichelle Matheron
And any self respecting fairy tale dragon needs a castle to live in #ou_msw instagram.com/p/aGKEspm6_L/Michelle Matheron
I answered questions and gave tips as we walked.

People shared Photos, text, check-ins, audio and video clips.
Learning to tell stories with the OUA215 OU’s course on creative writing sounds a great place to start writing #ou_msw
But soon enough after a walk to the castle, down by the river and back to the office, it was time to part company.
@janematthews great meeting you at #ou_msw today. Wish I’d been there from the start! Do flick me an email & I’m send u that case study :)Olaug N Gardener
